    I’ve been listening to Automatic a lot lately, and I must say the Reid brothers were really creative during this era. There were so many great songs on that album. The music, lyrics, and even some of Jim’s vocals are some of the best out of their whole discography. Then they went on to release honeys dead, which will always be my favorite. Long live the Mary chain

      Don't you mean the United Kingdom? In an ideal world, where money has less importance than it does, Scotland would separate from the United Kingdom, and Quebec would also separate from Canada. Smaller and less wealthier countries have been able to become independent of Russia, the largest nation in the world. how come it is a pipe dream, or somewhat impossible, for Scotland and Quebec to become independent nations?

      There's little risk involved, at this time, perhaps, in making music, or else, musicians are no longer willing to take chances for fear of having their careers take a nose dive when their product doesn't sell. It seems that self-important Musicians are no longer willing to sabotage their careers for the sake of creativity. It seems like there was a lot more intelligence and experimentation happening in the song-writing then, than there is today, but everywhere it seems, in this vast popular culture now, there's nostalgia and it's become trendy since the past is often more interesting than the future. But many younger people would probably disagree with me.

    I don't care ‘bout the state of my hair
    I got something out of nothing
    that just wasn't there
    and your kiss kiss kiss
    is never gonna blow me away
    Dreams of escape keep me awake
    I'm never gonna get out and make it away
    I'm a stone dead tripper
    dying in a fantasy
    Like a cracked open sky it helps you to die
    don't split it - scrape it
    you're screaming automatic pain
    Too young kid you're gonna get hit
    looks like your never gonna make it
    off the government list
    I don't mind about the state of my mind
    but you know it's good for nothing
    and I left you behind
    it's a sick sick city
    but it's never gonna make me insane
    If you're talking for real
    then go cut a deal
    you're facing up to living out
    the way that you feel
    and you shake shake shake
    'cause you know you'll never make it away
    Like a cracked open sky it helps you to die
    don't split it - scrape it
    you're screaming automatic pain
    Too young kid you're gonna get hit
    looks like your never gonna make it
    off the government list
    Well I guess that's why I've always got the blues… (x11)
